You'll join a dynamic team of Engineers, Product Managers, and Designers to architect and deliver cutting-edge features that power a platform used by some of the world’s leading organisations. At Loopio, we value clean code, continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing.

💻 What You’ll Be Doing
Lead and define test strategy for complex, high-impact product areas and cross-system integrations.
Architect, develop, and maintain scalable automated test suites for UI and API layers using Playwright.
Own and drive API test automation at scale — covering contract testing, end-to-end integration flows, and data validation.
Evaluate, plan, and execute performance testing to identify bottlenecks, validate SLAs, and ensure system reliability under load.
Mentor and guide L2/L3 QA engineers — conduct code reviews, pair on complex test scenarios, and help the team level up technically.
Champion quality engineering best practices — shift-left testing, test pyramid principles, and continuous testing in CI/CD.
Collaborate with engineering leadership on release readiness, risk assessment, and quality metrics.
Identify gaps in tooling, processes, and coverage, and lead initiatives to address them.
✨What We're Looking For
Must Have:
7–10+ years of overall experience in software quality assurance, with significant depth in test automation.
Minimum 1.5 years of hands-on experience with Playwright for UI test automation.
Strong experience in API testing and automation —building test suites and validating complex integration scenarios.
Experience testing enterprise or SaaS applications with multi-tenant, multi-integration architectures.
Strong ownership mindset — ability to operate independently and drive initiatives from ideation to completion.
Good to Have:
Experience in performance testing using tools such as Locust, JMeter, k6, or Gatling.
Working knowledge of TypeScript or JavaScript.
Exposure to Cypress or other modern automation frameworks.
Experience with CI/CD pipeline design and optimization (e.g., Jenkins, Harness, GitHub Actions).
Familiarity with test reporting and observability tools (e.g., Allure, Grafana, Datadog).
Contributions to automation framework architecture — page object models, custom fixtures, data-driven patterns, and shared utilities.

Questioning your qualifications? Read this ‼️ Hi there, we recognize that all too often, potential candidates don’t apply for a position simply because they don’t hit every single criteria included in the job description—particularly members of underrepresented groups.
Whether or not your experience ✅ checks off all the boxes on a job posting, we still encourage you to apply to ensure that your application receives a review from our team. We understand that a resume can only showcase so much during the applicant stage, so we've created prompts in the application for you to share more about yourself. If you've made a career transition (or a few!), you’re self taught in a new role, or you have skills/experience you’d like to highlight, we want to hear more about what you could bring to the table.
AI in Recruitment 👩🏻💻 At Loopio, we leverage artificial intelligence (AI) technology to enhance our recruitment process. These tools assist with tasks such as resume screening, drafting preliminary job descriptions, generating initial interview questions, transcription and occasionally sourcing prospective candidates. However, AI is never used to make final hiring decisions; our use of AI serves to support repetitive and administrative tasks in order to streamline our hiring and recruitment workflows. We are committed to the responsible use of AI in our hiring practices, prioritizing both an improved candidate experience and operational efficiency. Our standardized hiring practices remain focused on reducing biases, with all key hiring decisions solely made by our team. We continuously review and refine our hiring practices to align with industry best practices and evolving legal guidelines
AI Usage in Interviews 🤖 The Loopio interview process is designed to help us better understand your professional experiences, as well as your unique perspective and approach to delivery and collaboration. To ensure a fair and accurate assessment, we expect candidates to refrain from using AI-generated content to produce responses to our interview questions during the live interview, as our goal is to evaluate your own knowledge and problem-solving abilities - not those of an AI assistant. If AI-generated responses are identified during the interview, Loopio reserves the right to disqualify candidates from the interview process.
For specific roles that include a take-home assignment, our AI Interviewee Policy allows the use of AI for initial support; however, the final submission must be a true reflection of your personal insights, skills and decision-making.
Loopio is an equal opportunity employer that is deeply committed to building equitable workplaces that are diverse and inclusive. We actively encourage candidates from all backgrounds and lifestyles to consider us as a future employer. Please contact a member of our Talent Experience team (work@loopio.com) should you require accommodations at any point during our virtual interview processes.
